Fast Kronecker Matrix-Matrix Multiplication on GPUs
Abhinav Jangda, Mohit Yadav · 2024
Kronecker Matrix-Matrix Multiplication (Kron-Matmul) is the multiplication of a matrix with the Kronecker Product of several smaller matrices. Kron-Matmul is a core operation for many scientific and machine learning computations. State-of-the-art Kron-Matmul implementations utilize existing tensor algebra operations, such as matrix multiplication, transpose, and tensor matrix multiplication. However, this design choice prevents several Kron-Matmul specific optimizations, thus, leaving significant performance on the table.
